Wall layer to family

[alenek94]

Hi, I have a question.
Is there any way to change layers into families?

For example in picture 1 we can see basic wall with three wall layers (concrete, insulation and plaster). Is there any plugin to install or python code to write so I can transfer those layers into separate families?

Thanks for help.

Best regards, Alen.

Hi @alenek94,

It is possible with the Create Compound System FamilyType, Wall CompoundStructureLayersLocation and Get CompoundStructureLayers nodes.
Here is an example (it was the opposite case and it is probably more complicated)

Merge multiple separate walls into a single wall with multiple layers

Hi @NLA, Welcome to the Dynamo forum. It’s good practice to show one’s trials when asking for help. [How to get help on the Dynamo forums ](http://How to get help) Anyway here is an example : [1_Mono%20layers%20walls] [2_Compound%20wall] [Replace%20monolayer%20walls%20by%20multilayer%20wall]

Perhaps try making parts of the walls, as that may get you what you need with a bit less headache than creating individual families.
